Features: This book is a companion to "Design, Manufacturing, and Assembly of Low-Rise Light Steel Frame Houses," but focuses on fundamental theories and example calculations. By introducing foreign design codes for cold-formed thin-walled light steel members and presenting methods for designing low-rise light steel frame houses along with example calculations, this book enhances readers' understanding of the post-buckling strength of compressed thin plates, total cross-sections, net cross-sections, and effective cross-sections. It also helps readers grasp the key parameters of torsional section properties. This book can serve as a reference textbook for structural engineering programs in higher technical colleges and is particularly suitable for vocational and technical education and training in the steel structure construction industry. It can also be used as a design reference for personnel engaged in steel structure architectural design, research, and construction.
